Tasks List Filter: I noticed when I type a word in the filter name list (for example PDF) and pick enter. The filter list does not show on the dash board. I need to pick one of the tasks and this is the only task that shows. How can I get the filter list to shown all named tasks with the word PDF when I pick enter?  Could you add this to a future version? I am using Chrome as my browser.

In order to be able to ignore tasks from inactive projects on the global Setup Tasks page, could you add add a filter fopr this?

As a coordinator or platform admin, it would be great to be able to pick a task server when sending off a task. We regularly need to test new tasks on multiple projects and it doesn't always make sense to constrian the entire project to a specific task server.

On the Task Servers page, it would be helpful to have task servers report their available (free) RAM and disk space when they check in.

Cause/Things to Check

• Autodesk Health
  • Were there Autodesk outages that may have affected things?
    • https://health.autodesk.com/

• In Clarity

  • Is the Clarity Monitoring Service still running?
    • Stop/Start the service to rescan everything
      • Server tab, Central Host
  • Is the Oauth for that project still valid?

  • Select Check to see what Hubs/Projects you can see with that Oauth 
    • IF YOU DON'T SEE THE HUB WHEN YOU CHECK, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE APP IN ACC.
      • Try removing the app and reinstalling it and verify it is active.

We recommend that the task servers be at least comparable to workstations used in production, if not stronger, especially if you are planning on running multiple sessions of Revit and or multiple logins. 

When referring to the Revit System Requirements I recommend that you go with the performance requirements.  If you choose to use virtualization be aware that graphic intense tasks will not perform as well without a physical graphics card.

System Requirements

The Navisworks conversion and Autocad tasks are run as a Clarity Windows Task Server task.

The following must be done on each task server that will be running the tasks.

Start by logging onto the task server as the designated Clarity account.

Clarity Task Automation Service Configuration

In the Clarity task tray, you must set it to use the Clarity Windows Task server.

On the Configuration tab, Edit the Server

Expand Windows and make sure that the tasks you want to process are selected.  Ok out of dialogs.

I am trying to create project dashboards of the revit rooms and areas in power bi. I would like to setup the data set to automatically schedule a refresh of the data as Clarity updates the data once a week. I do not want to go into each projects dashboard in power bi desktop to refresh.

Power bi is asking to edit the credentials and I am unsure how best to input this information so that Microsoft can view the data and refresh.

Thanks,

It would be extremely beneficial if Clarity could create, share, and consume packages through Design Collaboration on BIM360. 

I don't see a way to "Accept Design Options" when publishing models. Am I missing this or can we add it in a future release?

• Open the Clarity task tray, select the Server and Edit
• On the Host Info tab, note the identity set on the configuration tab for the server.
• OK out of the task tray
• Exit the Clarity task tray
• Go to Services and note the identity assigned to the Clarity Windows task server
• Stop the Clarity Windows Task Server service
• Uninstall Clarity Task Server Installation from the control panel
• Browse to the following folder and move the IMAGINiT.lic file to the desktop so you don't have to relicense the software if you are reinstalling the same version.
  • C:\Program Files\IMAGINiT Technologies\Clarity Task Server

Oauth Credentials

THESE ARE REFRESHED BY THE MONITORING SERVICE SO PLEASE MAKE SURE IT IS RUNNING.

360 projects that are in Clarity require that the 360 Oauth identity be Valid so that we can see the Project and files.

This identity must be a member of each project you want to add to Clarity and also be assigned to the document management team.

Symptoms of an invalid Oauth

• Can’t add new 360 projects because they don’t show up on the list of available projects for the hub
• 360 Post actions will not work
• Projects are showing as stale
• Files not

For the silent install please refer to this article:  https://imaginit.helprace.com/i285-clarity-client-for-revit-silent-install-options - Alternatively, if your deployment system would prefer to work with MSIs, it's possible just by running the executable to retrieve the underlying MSI from the %TEMP% folder, and copy it elsewhere for usage. Other Configuration:

The other configuration cannot be dealt with in scripts, you will have to push config files out to people. The following are the relevant configuration files:

This has relevant info about what information to send in (unauthenticated), plus the "DefaultServerForMetrics" indicates what server it should be sent to when not authenticated. This also includes the

When I run a new task I get this error

n unexpected error occurred: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.:

I often filter the list of all tasks from all projects, but whenever I run/edit/copy a task, the filter setting gets reset, and I have to refilter again, and again, and again. This is not an efficient setup. Please disable the reset. If a user knows how to apply a filter, they would also know to reset that filter if/when desired. This also happens to sorting. I sort the list based on Frequency for instance, then click Run on a task. The page refreshes and my sort preference is no longer set.

Looking at our metrics across all our projects we have 7 projects that seem to be returning a few different metrics. So, the following question came up:

Is there a difference between these two metrics?

Additionally, the following metrics appear to be similar:

# of High Warnings v. # of Warnings - High Severity # of Medium Warnings v. # of Warnings - Medium Severity # of Low Warnings v. # of Warnings - Low Severity

The alerts are based on the former for each example. Does it matter? Is there a way to get all projects to report under

Is there a way to control the output file name of the BIM360 Download task? 

I am unable to control the name of the .zip file that is created. We use Panzura and it would be preferable to overwrite the same .zip file when the backup task is run as opposed to creating a new .zip every month.

I would like to be able to view ceiling height in a json shape file in power bi. I am unable to find the best report for linking that connects the relationship of the rooms with the ceilings and its height. I noticed that the Room Data sheets have this ability but wanted to capture in power bi with the json file.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bruce
